Last year was full of change and presented many challenges and lessons for CTS. We ran our customary Facebook events devoting time to issues such as Neuroscience, Education and Soft Skills. We also held our First CTS ELT Academic Conference in late September and ran workshops in Trujillo and Cajamarca.

As we take this time to contemplate the previous year, we feel very proud for having the courage once again to face situations  that would demand a lot of energy and stamina not only from us but also from our students. We congratulate them on finding the time and making the effort to join us in our courses: Cambridge English First (FCE) preparation courses, TKT CLIL, TKT Young Learners, TKT Core, Grammar Games for the English Classroom-this year we ran three of these courses, Web 2.0 and ICT tools for ELT and our classic Improving Writing Skills. Thank you very much for your commitment, we all know how demanding our courses and workshops are.

For most people, the beginning of a new year is a natural time to make adjustments and set goals. However, any time is the time to start a self-improvement program.

This year CTS starts activities with our XIV Facebook Event: Welcome back: Get ready for 2018 ELT Challenges where we will try to support teachers with their lesson planning and methodology tips so  as to meet everyone´s expectations for the first days of school. We will also introduce some online courses besides our blended learning TKTs, CAE preparation courses and will visit the Provinces once again.

We look forward to seeing you and would love to help you fall deeply and passionately in love – with yourself and your work!.  

TKT Core and TKT Specialization

For all those who still do not know the difference between them, here you are a summary in this prezi:

TKT -YL Preparation Course

This was one of my favourite courses. It was really good to see teachers realize that most of the activities they did in class so naturally had a rationale behind they did not know but they intuitively guessed was the right ones.

I am sorry Cambridge University Assessment has decided not to continue offering the TKT Young Learners Certificate since there were many teachers who teach English to kids who could have benefit from it.

Customized Training Services is offering its last course and I hope we could see some of you joining it.

Whenever we start a new term I get really excited because we, the tutors at CTS, have more possibilities to meet new teachers and to work with the ones that have been with us for a while. We all share a common goal: to improve the level of our students by training and becoming better teachers.

This is the plan for the next term. We look forward to seeing you soon.

 

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas. We would like to remind you of our Third Summer Course for Top English Language Teachers 2016 which will take place from January 18th to 30th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm.

This year we also have guest tutors and since you know every year we develop different modules based on your requirements,  we are sure you will be happy with the modules we are offering for 2016. These are: 

• Creativity and Innovation in the Language Classroom
• Pronunciation and Grammar development from Pre-Intermediate to Advanced
• Teaching CLIL and Teaching Young Learners
• Using TICS and Socializing (Leadership and Team work) in the Classroom
• Improving the Four Skills using learning strategies

 Certification is for 200 hours and vacancies are limited.
